You guys all have awesome connections

I was stuck at < 1Mbps for 5+ years. (That's about 30 KB/s download ). In fact, Bell came into the neighbourhood and installed a remote, but didn't tell me, so I was stuck at the lowest speed longer than I needed to be

Using a test centre in Burlington, Ontario, Canada:
3037 down
666 up.

Thank goodness for Bell Field techs switching me to the 4 Mbps line

Just out of curiosity Kareeser what site did you use to test your speed? I'm moving to North Bay at the end of the month and will want to test my speed.

I used Cogeco's speedtest: http://speedtest.cogeco.net/

I found it on the list of speed tests on dslreports.com
